What this is
Four local bars, one evening, and a guide who knows Beppu's Kitahama drinking district better than most visitors ever will. Starting with a toast at ARUCO DE BEPPU, this guided pub crawl moves at a relaxed pace through the neighbourhood over three and a half hours, with food and drinks included in the price. It wraps up at 9:30 PM — early enough to catch the last train back to Oita City.
Who should go
Solo travellers or small groups wanting a low-effort way into Beppu's local bar scene without the guesswork of finding good spots independently. Less suited to those after a late-night session — this is a civilised evening out, not a big night.
Good to know
Tickets should be booked in advance — check the organiser's website or local listings for the booking link, as walk-ins are unlikely to be accommodated for a guided group event. Payment methods at the point of booking may be limited; having a Japanese credit card or PayPal linked account helps. Since all food and drinks are included, there is no need to carry much cash on the night itself, though a small amount is handy for anything outside the crawl. ARUCO DE BEPPU is the meeting point — arrive a few minutes early as the group will likely set off promptly at 6:00 PM. The 9:30 PM finish is deliberately timed to allow participants to catch trains toward Oita City without rushing.
